As a none watch wearer I find the siteing of the clock in the Disco 2 a bit of a pain and on top of this my nearly aquired car seems not to be illuminated when lights turned on, can anyone assist and tell me if it should be and if so how do I check the bulb ?

 

Sounds like the bulb is dead. Lots of threads here on how to remove and replace it.

 

Yup - most likely a dead bulb. The clock is a pain to remove, if you force it (ask me how I know) the tabs can break. Use a credit card sized piece of plastic on the top and bottom to get it to release.

The bulbs are crazy expensive from the regular places. I tracked down some inexpensive ones on ebay just last week.

I replaced mine with LEDs and they match pretty well, but I plan to change the rest of the lights that I can to LED as well.
